Masks The Art of Expression - (Paperback) /anglais

by MACK JOHN

Masks exert a powerful fascination. A masked person, whether an actor or a participant in a rite or religious ceremony, is a person transformed - in many senses. Masking raises questions of identity and possession, reality and artifice, the natural and the supernatural.

[Elizabeth Judd Taylor]

Really a 4.5...
A beautifully illustrated book about masks from around the world. The information regarding each area is, by necessity, a bit short, but still gives a good overview (and there is a bibliography at the end for further reading). The photos are large and well-presented and the book is worth it just for them.
